No backend cost is a benefit for you, not for your users. Walking around with your phone out with an app open is inconvenient and a distraction, and a battery drain. Downloading a special app just for this is already too much friction unles

I understand all this, but it still feels like a solution in search of a problem. Why does it matter that it is decentralized? There are simpler ways to reasonably prove you were there. Scan a QR code taped to the wall, use a WiFi beacon, g

Interesting from a technical point of view. But the real problem to solve here is buried in this throwaway at the end, and it even suggests that this is entirely the wrong tech for the job: > So the way I see auraphone working at an even

That part of the title is in quotes. It’s paraphrasing how the guy expressed it to point out the absurdness of being asked to remove a face mask when you’re not wearing a face mask.

I wonder how it might affect people with medical conditions that make their faces look unusual. If the law only applies to pornography, most people in that situation might not want to go talk to a journalist about it.

An easy way to do this that I’ve used when resizing images in photoshop is to first scale it to the closest larger integer scaling factor of the target output using nearest neighbor, and then scale that down to the final result with bilinea

You can do this with a normal slider as well. Map a large pointer movement to a small control movement.

Fun example! Strange conclusion. React actually uses a synthetic event system that is subtly different from the native one in all kinds of little ways. In reading the docs it’s hard to even get an overview of what’s different. Bubbling is a

No, I was also around when React was new, moving to it from tangles of jQuery and Backbone. I absolutely know React brought several lasting innovations, in particular the component model, and I do appreciate that step change in front-end de

No, and not before that either. It’s a bizarre thing to say, honestly. React is used near universally, despite there being alternatives that are better in almost every way. That is the opposite of being under appreciated. Hype about a new t

I cancelled my Disney+ subscription through App Store, but since payment is monthly and in advance I still have access for a few more days. So I wonder if my cancellation has even registered in these numbers yet.

Calling it some 1999 iMac stuff is fair, but in that case it was replaced with some 2007 iPhone stuff. I’m not so sure that’s a step forward for a desktop OS.
